Austen

(album: okay. - 2017)

All the stories my father told
They spoke of your golden heart
Now the air in the room is cold
As your memories fall apart

You fear the silence
So I keep the words coming
You won't remember them
Once all the clocks stop turning
We might expect it
But my heart's still filled with dread
And words I never said
Words I never said

Give me strength to see you weak
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave

You've been claimed by your suffering
Sinking deeper in your pain
If you made a recovery
Could you ever be the same?

You fear the silence
So I keep the words coming
You won't remember them
Once all the clocks stop running
We might expect it
But my heart's still filled with dread
And words I never said
Words I never said

Give me strength to see you weak
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave

I tower over your hospital bed
Like you used to with me
I tower over your hospital bed
Like you used to...

Strength to see you weak
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
Give me strength to see you weak
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
'Cause I can't bear to let you, bear to let you leave
